Bats in my belfry :D

Here's a little (6.5" tall x 12.5" wide) bat stuffy I made for *someone who shall remain nameless until the parcel arrives* :D

Construction notes: I enlarged the pattern by 50% (original was too small for my cranky fingers), and added batting to the wings to make it stuffier :)

I've already posted the basket and mentioned who it's for, but no sleuthing allowed. Here's part of the little package I sent off today ;) Batty fits nicely into the basket, lol.

Here we have the belfry part - I wasn't paying attention when I made this bag and put the zipper on the wrong end of the fabric. OOPS! Will do better next time - I want to make a few little zipper bags for the neighbours kids who will be coming by on Halloween night :)

Thanks for visiting! I try to reply to all comments - if you're a No Reply blogger or using Google + I can't get your email address so please leave it (obfuscated somehow) in the message so I can write back (and snoop your blog, lol) - thank you!

About Me

Stay at home mom of 2 great boys - both of them electricians like their dad :) Hubby and I live near Toronto (Ontario), and have been married for 32 years. Both of our boys (now 28 and 27) have houses nearby, and visit the family grocery store (aka my basement storeroom) on a regular basis :D I regularly accidentally cook extra food for them to take home when they do visit, and keep a shelf stacked with household goods that they might need - they don't complain ;) Empty Nest Syndrome my a$$ - we're loving this!
On the crafty front - I sew. A lot. And shop for sewing. A lot :) And computer - a lot :) Life is fun, so SMILE, and thanks for dropping by :)
